And yeah, I have many stories of my darkness. I don't want to dwell on them. They were, and now they are not. Every day is now. The past is gone and the future never comes. Everyday is today. When tomorrow comes, we call it 'today'. Tomorrow is an illusion. I focus on today only. Yeaterday has nothing for me, and today has everything I'll ever have.

some great women on this board. This board makes me happy and sad. Happy cause there are so many ways to connect with women just like you but sad cause its hard to find that outside in the real world cause we (myself to) are so gaurded sometimes. Im not mad at the deleting.

18 yr old young girl living in Jamaica never wanted for nothing...I had it all. Got involved with a young man and I found out he was cheating. All hell broke loose after that. I beat...yes physically beat anything or anyone that said something that I didn't like. My Dad wanted the best for me...he bought a ticket to Canada a Monday for me to leave the Wednesday. He told me the Tuesday. I didn't know at that time that he was not planning on taking me back home but to send me to school in Canada. I cried and pleaded with him when I figured out his intentions. His words exactly " Everyone except your mother wants me to give up on you....I refuse to give up my child. I want u to make life for yourself by going to school and doing well. I will be your financial support". After months after dealing with my uncle white wife and his jealous son that jumped me more than once. I adjusted and kept my gold in mind. I experience my Christmas away from family. I felt like my heart was torn out. I suffered from Winter blisters. Because Jamaica doesn't have snow I was unaware of how to address. At school I met a friend..,she helped me on my academic journey.

My friend filled out scholarship forms for me to go to different universities in Canada and the US. I was awarded scholarships in both countries. I continued on my academic journey with a full blown scholarship to a school upstate ny.I was fully supported by MY father and my aunt in the NY. She continuously reminded me of my family values despite the I'll treatment I got from my uncles wife. I graduated with honors without student loans and was privileged to find a job out of school. I signed up to the black youth program and helped other youths with the same issues that I fought when I was in Jamaica.

Here I am today...with my education...curved out into an okay woman. And ready to even accomplish more. I Live...Learn and Grow each day.

mama you know if you ever wanna hear my long ass story, I'll share it. I honestly don't have a problem with it. But I honestly don't like people playing around when in all actuality these stories may help someone last one more day when they feel like giving up.
